Report: How Italian students see traditional British food.

Introduction
The aim of this report is to show what Italian students think of British cuisine. It is based on a survey of 9 students.

Traditional meals
 Understandably, a large number of students thought that British dishes are too heavy, especially Shepherd’s pie or baked potatoes. Nevertheless, a few of them felt that the use of butter on meat makes it tender. 

Fried food
Not surprisingly, several people agreed that fried food is tasty and practical. On the other hand, most adults would not recommend it because it is highly calorific, in particular fish and chips.

Cake and biscuits
The most common opinion is that English bakery is delicious, even though sometimes it can be sickly, for example Devil’s Cake. It is thought that the use of sugar is an advantage for the flavour more than for health.

Recommendation
As a result of this survey, I would strongly recommend balancing British specialities in your diet. I would also suggest exercising to prevent obesity.

To Dante

A poetic genius we are proud of,
Loving him is part of our psyche -
Italy has a debt of gratitude towards this
Giant with a soul as big as his nose.
Hell hath no fury like Dante’s inferno,
Intensity, profundity, creativity made him immortal;
Eloquence and articulation were his tools.
Reading him is what makes an

Italian proud of Italy.
